What type of hybridization is present in XeF2?

Xe belongs to the noble gas family so has 8 valence electrons...Xe => 5s25p6....... Two of these are bonded with fluorine. Thus it is left with 6 electronss i.e. 3 lone pairs.... So hybridization is sp3d ....the shape that should be =>Trigonal bipyramidal.... But it has 3 lone pairs on equatorial plane & 2 bond pairs on axial .....so final shape =>LINEAR...

No. Polyquaternium-10 uses quaternary ammonium as a functional group. This is different from formaldehyde, which has an aldehyde as the functional group.


What type of hybridization is found in ethylene?

sp2. Each carbon is sp2 hybridised leaving a p orbital that can form a pi bond. The ethylene (ethene) molecule is planar.


What type of hybridIzation is c2br2?

There wont be a stable compound with the formula C2Br2. If there is then it will be sp hybridization of carbon. If the question is for CH2Br2, then carbon will be sp3 hybridized.
